I do really like this dish set, however one of them the paint (or what they used to make it purple) eventually comes off when I wash it.Aside from that, not terrible.The coloring on some of the pieces is peeling off. I'm not too upset because the cost was great, but just something to be aware of.I bought these because these were so pretty and different I thought I'd give a try. The color is great however you can't wash where the color part is because it comes off. I specifically bought these because it was unique, but now the color fades when hand washing it just looks like a regular fork now.I tried hard to be careful not to mess up the cute purple accents but it was impossible. They damaged quickly and easily without needing rough handling. I don’t have kids at all to be rough with my nice things and they just got destroyed so rapidly, within the first two weeks of using them I noticed they were getting dinged up. They look janky and yucky in my drawer now because the paint is completely messed up it honestly makes me super duper sad. They are silverware. They do work. But don’t get them because they’re cute. They don’t stay cute at all.The purple comes off. Half of mine already have no purple coloring on it at all and I’ve only had them for maybe 4-5 months.Ordered this set 11 months ago and now the blue finish is coming off. Also, set feels very flimsy and too lightweight.I guess I should've read the reviews before I purchased these, because I had the same problem as most people shared. I bought both the purple and blue set. They were very pretty when I first removed them from the box. They stated on the box that they were dishwasher safe. I ran them through a cycle and found that all my knives started having the color chipping off. I decided to hand wash them from then out, but found out if you just soak them in water for a period of time, the paint will start to chip off! Waste of money! So disappointing!I literally only bought this set for the blue handles and 11 days after receiving them it is wearing off. We don’t use an abrasive sponge or dishwasher and as you can imagine they haven’t gone through many hand washes in eleven days. There is NO REASON it should already be coming off!!!
